Slope Operation
1. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which
can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it.
2. For your safety, measure any slope before using the tractor on the sloped
area. Use a slope measuring device in addition to the slope gauge included
as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this tractor on a
sloped or hilly area. Smart phone applications can be also utilized to measure
slopes. If the slope is greater than 12 degrees as shown on the slope gauge or
a slope measuring device, do not operate this tractor on that area or serious
injury could result.
3. Do not mow on slopes greater than 12 degrees (21%).
4. Do not mow across slopes, only mow up or down slopes that are less than 12
degrees (21%). Use low speeds and avoid sudden turns.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding or a loss of
control.
6. Do not operate tractor under any conditions where traction, steering or
stability is in question. Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
7. Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in
speed or direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
8. Use extra care while operating tractor with grass catcher or other
attachment(s). They can affect the stability of the tractor. Do not use grass
catcher on slopes greater than 10 degrees (17%).
9. Do not try to stabilize the tractor by putting your foot on the ground.
10. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden
changes in speed or direction. Rapid acceleration could cause the front of
the tractor to lift and rapidly tip over backwards, which could cause serious
injury or death.
11. Do not turn off tractor and freewheel downhill. Over-speeding may cause the
operator to lose control of the tractor resulting in serious injury or death.
Hauling
1. Use properly secured full width ramps for loading and unloading a tractor for
transport.

fertilizer. Refer to the Assembly section of this manual for instructions on how to install the
mulch kit (if equipped).
Mowing
WARNING
• To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders,
helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet (23 meters) from the tractor
while it is in operation. Stop tractor if anyone enters the area.
• Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material
against a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged material to
ricochet back toward the operator.
The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor:
1. Do not mow or drive at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector
is installed.
2. For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut clockwise with the
discharge facing towards the center of your lawn. After the first two laps, reverse
the direction to discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
3. Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly
in dry weather.
4. Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second
time to get a clean cut.
5. Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and grass taller than 10” (25.4 cm).
Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Tractor
WARNING
If the tractor has been recently run, metal surfaces will be hot and can
cause burns to the skin. Let the tractor cool for at least five minutes.
Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your tractor should be cleaned after each use and under certain conditions, i.e. dry
conditions and/or mulching situations, additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your tractor running efficiently and to reduce fire risk
is to regularly remove debris buildup from the tractor. Follow the recommendations
below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions.
• Allow the machine to cool in an open area before cleaning.
• Do not use water on any part
of the tractor. Doing so can
cause damage to the tractor’s
electrical components and
motor. The use of compressed
air and/or leaf blower or a brush,
damp sponge or rag will help
keep the tractor clean.
• Clean around fuses and wiring
harnesses.
• Clean the top of the tractor
deck. See Figure 13.
• Clean around and near the
transmission and axle. See
Figure 14.
• Debris can accumulate
anywhere on the tractor,
especially on horizontal
surfaces. Additional cleaning
may be necessary when
mowing in dry conditions or
when mulching.
• Excess lubrication can
become collection sites for debris. Immediate repair and cleaning up excess
lubrication can help reduce fire hazards.
• In addition to cleaning the tractor before operating and storing, do not
attempt to mow unusually tall grass (10” or higher), dry grass (e.g., pasture)
or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may build up on the tractor deck
presenting a potential fire hazard.
Lubrication
DANGER
Bearing failures and overheating can result in fire. Always follow
the instructions in this manual regarding lubrication locations and
intervals. Contact your authorized dealer with any questions about the
lubrication locations and intervals or any unusual noises coming from
any areas a bearing may be located.
WARNING
Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage the PTO,
set the parking brake,turn key to OFF position and remove to prevent
unintended starting.

Adjusting the Deck
Leveling the Deck (Front-To-Rear)
It is possible to adjust the pitch of the cutting deck. The front of the deck should be
between 0” (level) and 1/4” (6.4 mm) lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary
as follows:
1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in
the middle position and rotate the blade so that it is aligned with the front
and rear of the tractor.
2. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear
of the blade tip to the ground. The end of the blade facing the front of the deck
should be between 0” (level) and 1/4” (6.4 mm) less than the end of the blade
facing the back of the deck. Determine the approximate distance necessary for
proper adjustment and proceed,
if necessary, to the next step.
3. Locate the flange lock nut (a) on
the front end of the PTO lift rod
(b). See Figure 15.
a. Tighten the flange lock
nut (a) to raise the front
of the deck.
b. Loosen the flange lock
nut (a) to lower the
